A Use Permit to allow for automobile sales at 2760 Fulton Avenue on approximately 1.21± acres in the Fulton Avenue Special Planning Area. This property is located within the Fulton Avenue Special Planning Area (SPA) with a designation of Avenue Thoroughfare. According to the permitted and restricted uses within the SPA, auto sales requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit along with meeting specific use standards. It is a requirement that an office building of not less than 600 square feet be placed on the subject property and no outdoor loud speakers are permitted.

Reasons for Exemption
The project consists of a fully developed parcel and no resources will be affected, see Appendix A for Initial Study checklist. The project consists of the new construction of a 600 square foot office building. The building does not exceed 2500 square feet in floor area, is located in an urban area zoned for such use where all necessary public services and facilities are available, does not involve the use of significant amounts of hazardous materials, and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. The project is therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA. Section 15300.2-Exceptions Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines, Exceptions, provides conditions under which categorical exemptions are inapplicable. Review of the Project indicates that it will not violate any of the exceptions, as described in the following section.
